Multi-view Multi-class Detection dataset

Multi-view, Multi-Class Dataset: pedestrians, cars and buses

This dataset consists of 23 minutes and 57 seconds of synchronized frames taken at 25fps from 6 different calibrated DV cameras.
One camera was placed about 2m high of the ground, two others where located on a first floor high, and the rest on a second floor to cover an area of 22m x 22m.
The sequence was recorded at the EPFL university campus where there is a road with a bus stop, parking slots for cars and a pedestrian crossing.

This ground truth contains 242 annotated multi-view non-consecutive frames.
These frames contain different real situations where pedestrians, cars and buses appear and can cause high occlusions among them.
A total number of 1297 persons, 3553 cars and 56 buses were manually annotated with a bounding box around them.

The cameras were calibrated using the Tsai calibraition model, and the calibrations files are provided as well.
